Not everything that is good and free, is always going to last for free. Some people out there need to figure a way to make ends meet, like the rest of us. Some people want to be rewarded for the dedication of their work. If they decide to monetize what was once free, then they’re going to.

Some things that are the exception are software like Linux OSes and programs like LibreOffice. But I’m talking about things you really loved and couldn’t believe that were free one day, suddenly turn around and have to slap a price tag on it.

You know, people got to sustain themselves and that’s the truth of it.

    You could develop a horrific disease or disability tomorrow. And if you do, a surprising amount of your “friends” will abandon you because you are a constant reminder their just world outlook is a giant sack of bullshit.

      That last part seems rather unbelievable between good friends. Have you seen something like that happening to someone? I cant imagine this happening with my friends since I only have few but close friends.

        The reason varies, but the result is the same. Being abandoned by friends is the #1 complaint in chronic illness communities
